I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop (www.pcgamer.com)

Use Winboat to run windows programs that have Wine issues:

Windows isn't a secure environment, it's just that it's centralized enough in Microsoft that they can require all code to be signed by Microsoft and hardcode kernel signatures in the TPM. In terms of actual security against viruses and spyware, Linux is much more secure.

If you're okay with Microsofts AI slowing down your computer and watching everything you do, then I guess the centralization and integration with big gaming companies makes it a more capable gaming system than Linux.

Personally, I couldn't give a fuck about Battlefield 6. Trump's son in law can keep his crappy AAA games.
